 # Releasing vLLM
 
-vLLM releases offer a reliable version of the code base, packaged into a binary format that can be conveniently accessed via PyPI. These releases also serve as key milestones for the development team to communicate with the community about newly available features, improvements, and upcoming changes that could affect users, including potential breaking changes.
+vLLM releases offer a reliable version of the code base, packaged into a binary format that can be conveniently accessed via [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/vllm). These releases also serve as key milestones for the development team to communicate with the community about newly available features, improvements, and upcoming changes that could affect users, including potential breaking changes.
 
-## Release Versioning
+## Release Cadence and Versioning
 
-vLLM uses a “right-shifted” versioning scheme where a new patch release is out every 2 weeks. And patch releases contain features and bug fixes (as opposed to semver where patch release contains only backwards-compatible bug fixes). When critical fixes need to be made, special release post1 is released.
+We aim to have a regular release every 2 weeks. Since v0.12.0, regular releases increment the minor version rather than patch version. The list of past releases can be found [here](https://vllm.ai/releases).
 
-* _major_ major architectural milestone and when incompatible API changes are made, similar to PyTorch 2.0.
-* _minor_ major features
-* _patch_ features and backwards-compatible bug fixes
-* _post1_ or _patch-1_ backwards-compatible bug fixes, either explicit or implicit post release
+Our version numbers are expressed in the form `vX.Y.Z`, where `X` is the major version, `Y` is the minor version, and `Z` is the patch version. They are incremented according to the following rules:
 
-## Release Cadence
+* _Major_ releases are reserved for architectural milestones involving sweeping API changes, similar to PyTorch 2.0.
+* _Minor_ releases correspond to regular releases, which include new features, bug fixes and other backwards-compatible changes.
+* _Patch_ releases correspond to special releases for new models, as well as emergency patches for critical performance, functionality and security issues.
 
-Patch release is released on bi-weekly basis. Post release 1-3 days after patch release and uses same branch as patch release.
-Following is the release cadence for year 2025. All future release dates below are tentative. Please note: Post releases are optional.
+This versioning scheme is similar to [SemVer](https://semver.org/) for compatibility purposes, except that backwards compatibility is only guaranteed for a limited number of minor releases (see our [deprecation policy](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/contributing/deprecation_policy) for details).

-## Release branch
+## Release Branch
 
 Each release is built from a dedicated release branch.
 
-* For _major_, _minor_, _patch_ releases, the release branch cut is performed 1-2 days before release is live.
-* For post releases, previously cut release branch is reused
-* Release builds are triggered via push to RC tag like vX.Y.Z-rc1 . This enables us to build and test multiple RCs for each release.
-* Final tag : vX.Y.Z does not trigger the build but used for Release notes and assets.
-* After branch cut is created we monitor the main branch for any reverts and apply these reverts to a release branch.

-## Release Cherry-Pick Criteria
+### Cherry-Pick Criteria
 
 After branch cut, we approach finalizing the release branch with clear criteria on what cherry picks are allowed in. Note: a cherry pick is a process to land a PR in the release branch after branch cut. These are typically limited to ensure that the team has sufficient time to complete a thorough round of testing on a stable code base.

+# vLLM Attention Benchmarking Suite
+
+Fast, flexible benchmarking for vLLM attention and MLA backends with an extended batch specification grammar.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+cd benchmarks/attention_benchmarks
+
+# Run a pre-configured benchmark
+python benchmark.py --config configs/mla_decode.yaml
+python benchmark.py --config configs/mla_mixed_batch.yaml
+python benchmark.py --config configs/speculative_decode.yaml
+python benchmark.py --config configs/standard_attention.yaml
+python benchmark.py --config configs/reorder_threshold.yaml
+
+# Or run custom benchmarks
+python benchmark.py \
+    --backends flash flashinfer \
+    --batch-specs "q2k" "8q1s1k" "2q2k_32q1s1k" \
+    --output-csv results.csv
+```
+
+## Simplified Batch Specification Grammar
+
+Express workloads concisely using query length and sequence length:
+
+```python
+"q2k"              # 2048-token prefill (q_len=2048, seq_len=2048)
+"q1s1k"            # Decode: 1 token with 1K sequence
+"8q1s1k"           # 8 decode requests
+"q4s1k"            # 4-token extend (e.g., spec decode)
+"2q2k_32q1s1k"     # Mixed: 2 prefills + 32 decodes
+"16q4s1k"          # 16 spec decode (4 tokens each)
+```
+
+### Grammar Rule
+
+```text
+Format: (<count>?) q<q_len>(k?) (s<seq_len>(k?))?
+
+- count:   Number of identical requests (optional, default=1)
+- q_len:   Query length (number of new tokens)
+- seq_len: Total sequence length (optional, defaults to q_len for prefill)
+- 'k':     Multiplies value by 1024
+
+Mixed batches: Use _ to combine (e.g., "2q2k_32q1s1k")
+```
+
+**Note**: Decode, prefill, and spec decode are just different query lengths - no special syntax needed!
+
+## Pre-configured Benchmarks
+
+The suite includes several pre-configured YAML benchmark configurations:
+
+### MLA Decode Benchmark
+
+Tests pure decode performance across MLA backends with varying batch sizes and sequence lengths.
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py --config configs/mla_decode.yaml
+```
+
+### MLA Mixed Batch Benchmark
+
+Tests chunked prefill performance with mixed prefill + decode batches.
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py --config configs/mla_mixed_batch.yaml
+```
+
+### Speculative Decoding Benchmark
+
+Tests speculative decode scenarios (K-token verification) and reorder_batch_threshold optimization.
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py --config configs/speculative_decode.yaml
+```
+
+### Standard Attention Benchmark
+
+Tests standard attention backends (Flash/Triton/FlashInfer) with pure prefill, decode, and mixed batches.
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py --config configs/standard_attention.yaml
+```
+
+### Reorder Threshold Study
+
+**Question:** At what query length does the prefill pipeline become faster than the decode pipeline?
+
+Tests query lengths from 1-1024 across 9 batch sizes to find the crossover point. Uses `decode_vs_prefill` mode to compare both pipelines for each query length.
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py --config configs/reorder_threshold.yaml
+```
+
+---
+
+## Universal Benchmark
+
+The `benchmark.py` script handles **all** backends - both standard attention and MLA.
+
+### Standard Attention (Flash/Triton/FlashInfer)
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py \
+    --backends flash triton flashinfer \
+    --batch-specs "q2k" "8q1s1k" "2q2k_32q1s1k" \
+    --num-layers 10 \
+    --repeats 5 \
+    --output-csv results.csv
+```
+
+### MLA Backends
+
+```bash
+# Compare all MLA backends
+python benchmark.py \
+    --backends cutlass_mla flashinfer_mla flashattn_mla flashmla \
+    --batch-specs "64q1s1k" "64q1s4k" \
+    --output-csv mla_results.csv
+```
+
+### Parameter Sweeps
+
+Use `--sweep-param` and `--sweep-values` to run parameter sweeps from the CLI:
+
+#### CUTLASS MLA num-splits Optimization
+
+**Question:** What is the optimal `num_kv_splits` for CUTLASS MLA?
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py \
+    --backend cutlass_mla \
+    --batch-specs "64q1s1k" "64q1s4k" "64q1s16k" \
+    --sweep-param num_kv_splits \
+    --sweep-values 1 2 4 8 16 \
+    --output-json optimal_splits.json
+```
+
+#### Reorder Batch Threshold Optimization
+
+**Question:** What's the optimal `reorder_batch_threshold` for speculative decoding?
+
+```bash
+python benchmark.py \
+    --backend flashmla \
+    --batch-specs "q4s1k" "q8s2k" \
+    --sweep-param reorder_batch_threshold \
+    --sweep-values 1 4 16 64 256 512 \
+    --output-csv threshold_sweep.csv
+```

+## Hardware Requirements
+
+| Backend | Hardware |
+|---------|----------|
+| Flash/Triton/FlashInfer | Any CUDA GPU |
+| CUTLASS MLA | Blackwell (SM100+) |
+| FlashAttn MLA | Hopper (SM90+) |
+| FlashMLA | Hopper (SM90+) |
+| FlashInfer-MLA | Any CUDA GPU |
+
+## Using MLA Runner Directly
+
+All MLA backends are available through `mla_runner.run_mla_benchmark()`:
+
+```python
+from mla_runner import run_mla_benchmark
+from common import BenchmarkConfig
+
+config = BenchmarkConfig(
+    backend="cutlass_mla",
+    batch_spec="64q1s4k",
+    num_layers=10,
+    head_dim=576,
+    num_q_heads=128,
+    num_kv_heads=1,
+    block_size=128,
+    device="cuda:0",
+    repeats=5,
+    warmup_iters=3,
+)
+
+# CUTLASS MLA with specific num_kv_splits
+result = run_mla_benchmark("cutlass_mla", config, num_kv_splits=4)
+print(f"Time: {result.mean_time:.6f}s")
+
+# FlashInfer-MLA
+result = run_mla_benchmark("flashinfer_mla", config)
+
+# FlashAttn MLA (Hopper SM90+)
+result = run_mla_benchmark("flashattn_mla", config, reorder_batch_threshold=64)
+
+# FlashMLA (Hopper SM90+)
+result = run_mla_benchmark("flashmla", config, reorder_batch_threshold=64)
+```
+
+## Python API
+
+```python
+from batch_spec import parse_batch_spec, format_batch_spec, get_batch_stats
+from common import BenchmarkConfig, BenchmarkResult, ResultsFormatter
+
+# Parse batch specs
+requests = parse_batch_spec("2q2k_q4s1k_32q1s1k")
+print(format_batch_spec(requests))
+# "2 prefill (2x2k), 1 extend (1xq4kv1k), 32 decode (32x1k)"
+
+# Get batch statistics
+stats = get_batch_stats(requests)
+print(f"Total tokens: {stats['total_tokens']}")
+print(f"Num decode: {stats['num_decode']}, Num prefill: {stats['num_prefill']}")
+
+# Format results
+formatter = ResultsFormatter()
+formatter.save_csv(results, "output.csv")
+formatter.save_json(results, "output.json")
+```
+
+## Tips
+
+**1. Warmup matters** - Use `--warmup-iters 10` for stable results
+
+**2. Multiple repeats** - Use `--repeats 20` for low variance
+
+**3. Save results** - Always use `--output-csv` or `--output-json`
+
+**4. Test incrementally** - Start with `--num-layers 1 --repeats 1`
+
+**5. Extended grammar** - Leverage spec decode, chunked prefill patterns
+
+**6. Parameter sweeps** - Use `--sweep-param` and `--sweep-values` to find optimal values

+Simplified batch specification grammar for attention benchmarks.
+
+Grammar (underscore-separated segments):
+  Format: (<count>?) q<q_len>(k?) (s<seq_len>(k?))?
+
+  - count: Number of identical requests (optional, default=1)
+  - q_len: Query length (number of new tokens)
+  - seq_len: Total sequence length (optional, defaults to q_len for prefill)
+  - 'k' suffix: Multiplies value by 1024
+
+Common patterns:
+  - Prefill:  q_len == seq_len  (e.g., "q2k" → 2048 new tokens, 2048 seq)
+  - Decode:   q_len == 1        (e.g., "q1s1k" → 1 token, 1024 seq length)
+  - Extend:   q_len < seq_len   (e.g., "q4s1k" → 4 tokens, 1024 seq length)
+
+Examples:
+  q2k              -> [(2048, 2048)]           # Prefill: 2048 tokens
+  q1s1k            -> [(1, 1024)]              # Decode: 1 token, 1K sequence
